It’s been almost two years to the day since famine was declared in South Sudan. They still need our help.

For the first time since civil war broke out in South Sudan five years ago, the World Food Programme has succeeded in sending boats carrying lifesaving humanitarian food assistance.

Recently, WFP broke through barriers to reach Rukban, an isolated Syrian settlement, with lifesaving food and supplies.

As peace talks stall to end the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, a ship of hope—supported by U.S. wheat—tells an inspiring story about why American support for the people of Yemen right now matters so much. Ann Nallo reports.

Life has been hard for Nyagiech, hunger a constant battle, but with WFP’s help she can provide her family with the food they need to survive.

By land, air and sea, World Food Programme does whatever it takes to reach people in the most need.

For the last six months, humanitarian organizations like WFP have delivered aid inside South Sudan, where 60 percent of its unpaved roads have disappeared.

When violence cut off 28,000 people from lifesaving assistance back in June in South Sudan, WFP found a way to bring lifesaving supplies.

In 2017 the number of hungry people rose to 821 million according to The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report released today.

In July 2018, a World Food Programme (WFP) communications team found their way inside Yemen to document the hunger crisis in areas that rarely see the light of day.Â
